I've been browsing the forums and various homebrew supply sites looking for good summer beer ideas. I decided one of the beers I definitely wanted to make was a saison, but couldn't find a recipe that I really liked so I figured I'd try to design one myself. Feedback would be greatly appreciated as I've never designed my own and am new to homebrewing in general. Here's what I came up with.
Recipe Type: Extract
Yeast: WLP568
Batch Size: 5 gallons
Original Gravity: 1.051
Final Gravity: 1.009
IBU: 22.2
Boiling Time: 60 minutes
Color: 7.8
Primary Fermentation: 1-2 weeks @ 70-80F
Secondary Fermentation: 1-2 weeks @ 70-80F
8 oz. Crystal 20
8 oz. CaraVienne
(Steep 30 mins @ 160)
3 lbs. Pilsen LME
3 lbs. Wheat LME
1 lb. Clear Candi Sugar
1 oz. Hallertauer (60 min)
1 oz. Saaz (5 min)
Rack onto 49 oz. Blackberry Puree in secondary or use 4 oz. extract at bottling/kegging
Thoughts? Any glaring problems?
What's the difference (if any) between puree and extract flavoring?
